Be it known that I, IsAAo H. 330mm, s citizen of the United States,residing at Munoie, in the county of Delaware and State of in- Clisnzt,have invented new and useful linproveinents in Stearn-Pro inoers;' and ldo declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, reierenee being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe characters of reference marked tion.

This invention relates to apparatus for oonvertin water into steam bythe oonsu1nptionof near or other fuel, the invention having referenceparticularly to the furnace and the draft-passages therefor and to thevessels for holding the Water end the steam,

Objects of the invention are, first, to inrprove the eonstructimigenerally of upright Water-tube types of steinn-prorlneers with respectto the distribution enrl application of the heat; second, to provideimproved eppnratus for hosting the W'tildl; third, to pro ride in provedeveporstors for converting the water into steznn, and, fourth, toprovide means for separating mud or other foreign The ehm'e-nientionerland minor objects are attained in the present invention, which (consistsof steam-producer having evaporators and also a water-drum provided withWater-dividers, the Water-drum being provided also with eweter-(ieileotor and annulldrum and the invention eonsists, further, inthe novel ports and the ooi'nbinstions end 211- rangeinen LS oi? parts,as hereinafter particularly rloscrilied and claimed, I

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectionalView of the improved steen'i proi'lueer, taken at a suitable plane, ason or near the line E E in Fig. 2 Fig. 2, a transverse verticalseotioi'iel View on the plnne oi the line A A in Fig. 1 Fig. 3, atransverse vertical sectional View on the plane oi the line B B in Fig.l; but repre sented as being Wider than the sti ueture shown in Fig. 2Fig. 4, a horizontal seotionnl View on the plane oi the line C U in Fig.1,. and Fig. 5 a horizontal sectional View on the plane of the-line D Din Fig. 1.

A nnid-drnin N is supported l) r the side wells of and d between thewells l) and o and is connected by a, series oi duets i with thewater-drum i the duets e tending through the Well a se that all depositsfrom the water in the We; 'h'inn may pass to the much drum, which isprovided with e, blow-oil pipe in.

An zn'ch O, lnw nq n'ojo tions n, is orrsngerl in the tin-n and extendsirom the front wall 1 towers the writer-drum l overly the dead space 7Wi *0 is built at, the rear of the tub to the series of tubes H. Aninclined Wall P I extends from the end. of the arch near the series oftubes to the front Wall near to the drum G, a main lieat-passage thewall P between-the tubesv is built against the front of the Wall P, soas to form an auxiliary heat-passage ya, that exl tended through tl intothe upper being behind A r ii trough 3 is top of the arch and also Iportion of the front Wall a with l a terminal 51 eon'imunicatiug withthe main heat-passage beneath the drum G. Theheatl passage 10 may,however, be arranged separately from the Wall P, if desired. The Wall Pextends from one side Wall to the other. Any suitable number of arches 0may be provided, and likewise any desired number of I auxiliaryheat-passages 29 may be provided, as appears in Fig.

A horizontal partition 1" is arranged. below the roof 7', so as to forma heat-passage from beneath the drum G to the drum 1. A Wall 8 extendsfrom the drum F to the partition 7*, and a well i extends from the drumF to the partition 1" With a dead. space 7 between the Walls 8 and t,there being braces 6 for the Walls 8 and t, Side passages to and u areformed in the side walls at andd oonnec ing th the space above the rootj, so that the hot air from the dead space may be conducted to thesteers-drum M for drying the steam therein, there being an arch 8 on thedrums G and 1, extending over the drum M, forming the roof of anair-chan1ber in which the drum M is arranged. The drunisG and l aresuitably covered. A Will ing, With the Wall 25, e draft-passage from thedrum 1 to the drum F, the passage extending under the wall e, which is}0i11(l by a wall it), that is built against the tubes L, the Walls wand 3 forming a draft-passage to the upper rising to the dru es J,complete portion of the structure where a horizontal roof an is placedupon the Walls 2) and w and against the rear'part of the drum 1. Achimney connection y is placed upon the roof :1: and the rear Wall 5above a smoke-box in Whieh the drum K is arranged.

it will be seen from the foregoing that a inset-passage extends from theend of the arch Q between the tubes H to the drum G thence to the drum1, thence to the drum 1 one thence to the drum K, The heat risingbetween the tubes H will become sorus What absorbed by the Water in thetubes in m. G; but the greases will be reheated by direct furnace heatrising throu the passage p under the drum so that tie greater amount ofsteam will be produced in the drum G, and the augmented heat will beapplied also to some extent to the drum 1,

The .water-drum F is provided with a water-divider to prevent agitationof the whole body'ot' water in the drum and to provide that a shallowbody of. the r ,ter'ohly shall be exposed to the heat on the lower part1 tubes that extend of the shell of the drum i Water may be heated ragree before entering the to the eve iorators. The water-dividercoinstirrups 10, supported in the drum, and a series of tubes it, piledupon the stirthe tubeshaving open ends. A de ulate S is suj'iported inthe drum F, opposite to the ends of the tubes L, to deflect the incomingWater under the tubes R, so that the water will pass p a shallow channelunder the tubes R, al though tl ere will be slow circulation among thetubes.

The evaporators include -water-dividers comprising, respectively, aplurality of tubes T, arranged on stirrups 1.1 in the drum G, and aplurality of tubes T, arranged on stirru ps 12 in the drum 1. Thedividentubes are supported a short distance above the bottoms of thedrums, so that a shallow body of Wfi-tGLbHly in each. druniis acted uponby the heat at one time, therefore insuring rapid conversion of thewater into steam and with the minimum consumption of fuel.

Till-3 steam-d in and also an outlet-pipe connection 13, and all of thedrums have their heads fixed within the ends of their shells, the endsof the shells being provided with caps Mto exclude cold air from theheads of the drums. if desired, the Wete1--- iividers in the variousdrums may be formed differently in detail from the eonstru on dos bed Inpractical use me waiter Will enter the drum K and pass to ;he dr terthat may carry matter in suspension gravitating to the 1nud-drum N. Fromthe drum F the water will rise into the evaporzjitor drums G and I,there to be converted into steam, which will pass to the steamdrum M andtherein be dried. Other results operation will be fully understood fromthe foregoing description in connection With the details of constructionof the apparatus.
